40/42" rear PTO tillers

[rfuller]

I found a rear PTO tiller for sale to use with my 982. Does anyone know of any common problems with these? I really don't know much about them. Are they any good?

I have a 42"on my 2072 and it works great. I had to hang 5 40# suitcase weights on the front and filled the rear ags with fluid and 70# weights.

Well I missed out on the tiller. Just wondering.... what is the RPM of the tiller tines on these? From what it looks from the parts look up for the gearing it must turn a lot faster than the 215 RPM of the #1and #2 tillers.

2000 rpm cat-o pto the final speed is reduced on the pulley that the driveshaft goes into.

I know I'm not suppose to ask this, but what is the price range you'd expect to see these tillers sold for? I've only called on the one and I never asked the price.
